1 gram of protein per pound of lean body mass. So, if you had 140 lbs of LBM, 140 grams of protein should be consumed when maintaining or increasing LBM. While dieting, a little more.

Hmmm...I had 102gs one day this week.

Only one day? What about the rest of them?

When you are dieting, it is a very good idea to supply an adequate amount of amino acids into the bloodstream. Your body is deficient in a lot of things when dieting, energy and aminos being some of them. By making sure you consume adequate protein, it gives your body an easier alternative for aminos opposed to breaking down your existing LBM.

Well, it might be better to look to the future to see what we can do right vs. looking at the past to see what we did wrong.....



Thanks for this explanation

No prob! Off to LaLa land for me. Nighty night.

Yep, I'm out too - another Swim Meet in the morning

G'night you protein aholics!
